 |
|
| I was originally set on teaching in Korea but I won't be able to do that until at least November. I've just had an offer from China which sounds good. Should I go to China for 6 months or wait for Korea? The salary per hour is 70 yuan which is about 8,413.88 KRW. |

My God, 70 an hour. That sucks. Where is it (what city), what hours, etc. We need more info, but 70 is not much at all. What does that include? |

| The city is Beijing and the hours are 25-30 per week. Thanks for the responses. I thought the offer was low so I rejected it. He seemed kinda desperate so he might increase the wage offer. Is going over on a tourist visa and then sorting things out at that end a good idea? |

I was offered the same job in beijing and I got them to negotiate up to 100rmb.
The power of supply and demand.
I have another offer in Shanghai that is 150/200 rmb an hour and another in guangzhou for 150/hour.
Don't let them fool you, if they are desperate you can get the right pay  |
